Over 25 New Images from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; New Looks at The Lizard, Webshooters, and More

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 12:38 pm

The new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man debuted late last night, giving us a much better look at what to expect from Marc Webb’s franchise reboot. We got peeks at blinking webshooters, wise-crackin’ Spidey, and most importantly, The Lizard. I was quite impressed with the trailer, and I’m sincerely hoping that Webb is bringing us a fresh take on the character. While I’m wary of going the origin route once again, Andrew Garfield‘s charisma and a new spin on the story give me reason to hope for the best. We’ve gone frame-by-frame through the new trailer and have grabbed over 25 images from the superhero reboot, giving us a closer look at The Lizard, the webshooters, and Spidey in action. Hit the jump to check them out.

The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D July 3rd.

New Trailer for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Begins the Viral Campaign

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 10:42 am

Last night, Sony Pictures released a new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man.  We should no longer trust trailers to be just trailers.  New policy: when it comes to blockbuster movies, watch the trailer in HD and then go through frame-by-frame for a hint of a viral campaign.  That may sound crazy, but that’s what you had to do if you wanted to catch the beginning of the viral campaign for The Amazing Spider-Man.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Trailer Debuts

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 12:07 am

In case you missed the sneak-preview of footage from Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man, you’re in luck! We’ve recapped it for you here along with images from the film thus far. But what you really came here for is the new trailer, which is much better than the previous one, which started by highlighting a young Peter Parker and finished with a “Mirror’s Edge” style parkour run over the rooftops from Spidey’s perspective. We get a nice look at the budding relationship of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy as well as the friction building between Parker/Spider-Man and George Stacy. You’ve got web-slinging, a nod to Parker’s genius through his high-tech gadgets and chalkboard equations and glimpses of Ifans as The Lizard! Much more encouraging.
The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans and opens in theaters July 3^rd. Hit the jump to check out the new trailer.

Marc Webb Talks about “Trickster” Peter Parker in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 6th, 2012 at 10:28 am

Taking over the Spider-Man film franchise is already a major challenge, but director Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) has to take the character back to his origins and do so in a way that distinguishes his take as different from Sam Raimi‘s.  The posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have been vaunting an “Untold Story”, and part of that is making this Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) a little darker and more realistic.  In a recent interview, Webb talked about the “trickster” aspect of the new Spider-Man and what we can expect regarding the film’s tone.

Sunday PSA: Spider-Man Loves Fruit

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 5th, 2012 at 12:18 pm

Let me take you back to a simpler time. A time when a hard day’s work was its own reward, when doing the right thing was done out of decency without thought of compensation, a time when superheroes were fighting for truth, justice and the American way. Now let me take you to 1980 where, apparently, New York was suffering from a dinosaur infestation and a severe potassium deficiency. The values may have changed in the 80s, but Spider-Man was still fighting the good fight. He just developed an odd taste in rewards. It’s not the strangest PSA we’ve ever posted, but it’s up there. Hit the jump to check out a pro-fruit PSA from 1980 (and click here to check out our image gallery from Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man to see just how far the web-slinger’s come in 30 years.)

Unless you’re lucky enough to attend a sneak-peek screening of footage from The Amazing Spider-Man, you’ll have to wait another five months until the movie comes out. A lot of promotional material has been released for Marc Webb’s installment in the Spider-Man movie franchise. There was the original trailer last year, a related video game trailer and tons of images.  We’re expecting a new trailer and perhaps some viral marketing to kick in this week following the limited preview, so we thought we’d do a recap on the images we’ve collected so far. The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field and Denis Leary. The film opens on July 3rd.

On February 14^th, Hulu launches their first original scripted series, called Battleground. Executive produced by J.D. Walsh, Hagai Shaham and Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer), the 30-minute episodes are set in the world of political campaigns in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Shot in faux documentary-style, the workplace dramedy explores the behind-the-scenes chaos of a group of campaign workers and volunteers who leave their ordinary lives for life on the campaign trail.

While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, EP Marc Webb talked about how he got involved with this project, the opportunities available in producing programming for Hulu, the similarities with independent filmmaking, how he enjoys telling stories that are fun and interesting, and his desire to direct episodes for Season 2. He also talked about shooting The Amazing Spider-Man with 3eality 3D rigs, and said that people can expect to see a new trailer within the next month. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Producer Avi Arad Reveal Plot Details for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 18th, 2012 at 8:45 pm

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach held a press conference in Tokyo yesterday in part to announce that The Amazing Spider-Man will premiere in Japan on June 30, a few days before the July 3 North American release date.  The press conference was nearly an hour long, so the group had a lot more to share.  For instance, when asked what sets the new Marc Webb-directed film apart from Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man trilogy, Arad responded:

“In our movie, [Peter] finds his true love. Gwen Stacy was always the true love of Peter Parker… We found a very, very good story about what makes a human being. About what sets their destiny.”

New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Toys Reveal Spoilers and Another Look at The Lizard

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 30th, 2011 at 7:37 am

Studios try so hard to keep a tight lid on their movies (until a month before the flick opens and the TV spots and trailers spoil everything anyway), but those pesky toy-makers always let snapshots of their products leak out.  LEGO-rip-off Mega Blocks are making toys for The Amazing Spider-Man, and box art of those toys have gone online.  If you’re curious where some set pieces are probably going to happen, you can find out after the jump.  Sony has also been trying to keep The Lizard hidden (probably because the special effects aren’t ready for public consumption), but some plastic remote doohickey has a nice image of Spidey’s new foe.  Another toy has Spider-Man driving a Spidey-mobile, and  I know it won’t be in the movie, but someone needs to explain to me why Spider-Man needs a car.

Hit the jump to check out the images, but beware of possible spoilers.  The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3, 2012.

New Images from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Highlight Emma Stone and Webshooters

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 26th, 2011 at 2:54 pm

As the barrage of marketing materials from the 2012 movie season continues, we’ve got a couple of new images from Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man. We’ve seen a few of these images before and a couple are new, but all are high quality. The new images here really emphasize the teenage aspect of Webb’s take, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the (500) Days of Summer director handles the character-driven scenes. I was impressed with the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the footage we saw at Comic-Con, and I’m hoping that permeates throughout the film.

Hit the jump to check out the images, which also include a close look at the mechanical webshooters. The film also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D July 3rd, 2012.

Collider’s 15 Most Anticipated Blockbusters of 2012

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 24th, 2011 at 8:37 am

As 2011 comes to a close, it’s time to look forward to the movies set to open in 2012. While many are busy compiling their Top 10 lists from 2011, we thought it’d be a good time to run down the list of our 15 most anticipated blockbusters of the coming year. Will The Avengers deliver as the culmination of four years worth of Marvel movies? Just how much of a prequel to Alien is Prometheus? Will The Dark Knight Rises be the greatest movie ever made in the history of movies and awesomeness? There are a lot of unknowns, and we’ve learned that sometimes the best behind-the-scenes talent can still make a stinker (Cowboys & Aliens), but we’re hoping for more than a few pleasant surprises (a la X-Men: First Class) to appease us in 2012. Hit the jump to check out our list.

David Fincher Reveals What He Had Planned for His Take on SPIDER-MAN

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 12:15 pm

After Sony scrapped Spider-Man 4, effectively ending director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s run with the character, the studio moved quickly to assemble a reboot in order to keep the franchise alive. Sony put together a shortlist of directors to take over the job, and while Marc Webb eventually ended up with the gig, David Fincher was apparently on Sony’s list (he was also considered to direct the first Spider-Man). The director is currently doing the press rounds for his latest effort The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but he recently took a moment to talk about what his vision of Spider-Man would have looked like. It’s pretty fantastic, and I suggest you hit the jump to see what he had to say.
